Lantern.

A better part of my day today was spent making a chinese flying lantern. It was fun making it, although stressful. =D The sides were mahjong paper, the base made of straws, a metal holder and lots of tape. Oh, and lighter fluid. =D

After sticking everything together.

After attaching the holder.

After it fell and burnt. =(

Sad to say, it didn't have a very happy ending. =(
